Quote:Ok, sounds completely fair to me. I actually prefer when things are kept civil, it becomes difficult on here sometimes though.Same, but things can get pretty heated quite quickly can't they. I know we've had a bumpy road, but I'm sure we can still level it out.
Quote:I think it is part of man’s fallen nature to disagree with God’s commandments and laws, so yes I would say that I do catch myself doing that. Or I find myself behaving in a manner that is contrary to God’s decreed will. When I realize I do this though, I try my best to conform my desires and thoughts to His will. There are certain things in scripture I do not understand, there are times I feel that election seems unfair, but then I realize that my concept of fairness is completely arbitrary and I need to conform it to what God tells me is fair. Since I became a Reformed Christian (a conversion that was fueled by my discussions with atheists) though scripture does make far more sense to me and the God of the Old Testament does not seem like a completely different God from the God of the New Testament like He used to.Ok. What I want to know now is, what were those sins you committed and what parts didn't make sense to you? Were there parts you just couldn't find reason for or agreed with?
I've always saw fairness and the like from basic ideals.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
